Black Iron Crown

Chapter 467: Relief

October 25th, 26th year of the Empire.

Rainer began to move towards the location of Fort Creek. Along the way, he could clearly see the burned village and farmland.

Countless corpses were randomly discarded on the ground, and the corpses had long been rotten beyond recognition, and were eaten by all kinds of animals and insects.

Seeing the tragedy here, Lena frowned slightly, he didn't know what was going on at Fort Creek at this time.

Although it is possible for a castle to stick to the previous year, Rainer is worried that there will be any accidents, and that would be a trip for nothing.

Two days later, Rainer finally saw the southern army besieging Fort Creek on the horizon.

It seems that they haven't attacked the city yet, because Rainer saw the soldiers sitting lazily on the ground, or playing in groups of three or five.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!" The sentries arranged in advance discovered Rainer and shouted loudly.

His shout instantly made the entire camp boil.

The originally lazy soldiers bounced off the ground instantly, took up their weapons and began to look around, searching for the enemy's location.

Reiner made a decisive decision and shouted directly at the knights who were following him: "Charge with me!"

There are more than a hundred knights and thirty Scarlet Gryphon knights who follow Leiner, as well as one hundred and twenty Scarlet Gryphon retinues. The total bonus is 300 knights who follow Leiner in this way. Behind.

When Earl Varas saw this, he immediately stood up with his lance, and surrounded Lena with Lombard and several other Scarlet Gryphon riders.

If there is any accident to Reiner, no matter how brilliant the result is, it is definitely not a victory, but a total defeat!

The power generated by the impact of more than 300 knights can almost destroy the world. The rumble of horseshoes resounded like thunder in the entire enemy camp, shocked their chests and even resonated with the sound of horseshoes.

Facing such a terrifying charge, the fear in their hearts was aroused at this moment. The horses in the south were small and thin. Many knights chose to dismount and walk when fighting.

Therefore, even the veterans who have experienced many battles, they have not seen the charge of war horses many times.

Most of the knights under Rainer ride high war horses produced in the middle-level racecourse, with a shoulder height of an astonishing 1.7 meters, two heads taller than ordinary people.

Such a tall war horse can hardly be called a horse in the eyes of these soldiers, and no one can associate these ferocious beasts, which are like wild beasts, with the short horses in the south that are like donkeys in the north.

"Run!" Without any accident, this group of soldiers didn't even dare to face the knights. Before they rushed to the front, they quickly broke up and fled.

However, how can two legs run more than four legs, although human endurance is far stronger than a war horse, no one can run a war horse in such a distance.

Rainer brought the knights swept in like a flood of extinction, the rifle broke but the sound was endless, and the soldiers pierced through the rifle and made miserable screams.

The breastplate of the war horse was matched with a bulldozer that was almost unparalleled in speed. Only the crackling sound kept sounding. Countless soldiers were knocked into the air and stepped on the horse's hooves, and their bones shattered.

"Hurray! Lord Earl! Our reinforcements are here!"

"It's Duke Rainer! It's Duke Rainer here!"

"Great! We! We are finally saved!"

During the siege of Fort Creek, the soldiers guarding the walls were under tremendous psychological pressure every day.

The endless rain of arrows made them feel as if they were in hell, as long as the arrows scratched a little bit, it was the result of infection and death.

Even under Earl Crick's desperately boosting morale, the soldiers' emotions can only be said to be barely maintained.

Now, seeing the arrival of reinforcements, their depressed hearts burst out in an instant, and the joy of the rest of their lives filled everyone's heart.

They hugged each other and reveled, and the cheers went straight into the sky.

Earl Crick looked at the reinforcements under the city wall, his eyes flushed a little.

During this period of time, the psychological pressure he has endured can be imagined.

In this way, Rainer rushed back and forth in the camp. For the sake of insurance, he did not damage other facilities such as tents, worrying that the horse speed of the horse would be reduced.

When Rainer rushed back and forth, he looked at the gates of Fort Creek and frowned when he saw no response at all.

It stands to reason that if they go out of the city to cooperate with them at this time, they can definitely cause greater casualties to the enemy.

But unfortunately, Earl Crick’s battlefield experience is not rich, and he is not even as good as his daughter, and he does not understand the current battlefield form at all.

After nearly ten minutes of unscrupulous back and forth impact, Rainer felt that the speed of the horse under the hip was slowing down, but there was still no movement in Fort Creek.

So Rainer had no choice but to erect the banner in his hand and ran towards his army behind him.

Seeing the knights walking away, these soldiers couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, showing the expression of the rest of their lives, and finally passed, such an assault is really unbearable.

Rainer returned to his home formation, looking at the messy enemy camp behind him, frowning involuntarily. If the defenders in Fort Creek cooperated with him, he would definitely cause greater losses to the enemy.

But soon, Rainer stopped struggling with this matter.

"Not bad, this time the charge caused 930 casualties!"

Rainer was able to guess from the changes in his merits, what kind of results he had just achieved.

This is already quite a glorious result. The enemy lost more than 900 people in less than ten minutes.

It's a pity ~lightnovelpub.net~ Just now Lena's army is in a marching queue. Otherwise, if you cooperate with Lena, the defenders in the castle will cooperate again, maybe you can solve the enemy directly.

But now, looking at the enemy forces that were slowly gathering and retreating, Rainer knew that the best chance was gone.

They are slowly retreating, and set aside a part of the soldiers to guard Rainer's re-attack, but Rainer did not immediately order the army to start fighting.

Now the size of his army is not as big as the one or two hundred people back then. Now if you want to change the formation, you don’t even think about it for ten to twenty minutes. The enemy will run away in those twenty minutes, and you can’t chase it. , So Rainer can only let the enemy leave now.

The soldiers were ordered to camp outside the city, and the gates of Fort Creek opened accordingly.

"My dear son-in-law, you are finally here!" Earl Crick walked out of the city gate enthusiastically and greeted Rainer.

Reiner was a bit speechless about his old man with no strategic vision, but he couldn't say anything in person, only smiled awkwardly.
